Chengdu International Printing and Packaging Industry Expo

The Exhibition Value of the Chengdu International Printing and Packaging Expo

• PPE CHENGDU is the largest and most professional printing and packaging industry event in Sichuan Province. Having been successfully held for fifteen editions, it is widely recognized as the premier procurement platform and leading indicator for the printing and packaging sector in Western China. Co-organized by the Packaging Technology Association and the Printing Industry Association, after sixteen years of dedicated cultivation, the expo has become an indispensable annual highlight for the printing and packaging industry in Central and Western China.
• The core value of participation lies in its platform attributes—deeply rooted in the Western market and precisely reaching the region’s key buyer segments. With the Southwest region as its strategic foundation, the expo has amassed a buyer database exceeding 150,000 contacts. The organizing committee consistently conducts on-site outreach across provinces, municipalities, prefectures, and counties in the Southwest, engaging in face-to-face, in-depth dialogues with end-users, distributors, and agents, while strengthening engagement through one-on-one targeted invitations. The professional audience encompasses end-users such as color box manufacturers, color printing plants, paper product facilities, cardboard producers, carton makers, tobacco packaging firms, liquor packaging companies, and food packaging enterprises, as well as core supply-chain players including equipment and component suppliers and consumables providers.
• The expo has established a one-stop procurement platform covering the entire industry chain, with exhibits spanning both upstream and downstream sectors of printing and packaging. The exhibition features seven major thematic sections: printing machinery and consumables, corrugated and color box manufacturing equipment and supplies, packaging machinery and equipment, finished packaging products and containers, label printing, digital printing and quick graphic printing solutions, and personalized printing and output devices. Ranging from pre-press plate-making and printing equipment to post-press finishing processes, from corrugated boxes and color packaging to label printing, and from traditional to digital printing, the expo achieves seamless integration across the entire value chain, providing exhibitors with an efficient gateway to connect with upstream and downstream partners.
• The expo brings together leading brands and high-quality exhibitors, creating a stronghold of brand value. Prominent participating companies include Zhengbo, Kangde Xin, Guowang, Jialite, Wutai Group, Ruiguang, Shunfeng, Fengbang, Chaozhou Zhenxiong, Wenhong, Xiangbao, Xinpengxiang, Xinwei, Chuangxin, Changrong, Dongzhou, and other renowned domestic and international brands. These industry leaders’ consistent participation not only elevates the expo’s professional standing but also offers buyers valuable references for selecting premium products.
• Keeping pace with the “Dual Circulation” development strategy and the trend toward digital transformation, the expo has pioneered an innovative dual-channel model integrating online intelligent matching with offline in-depth matchmaking. By leveraging digital technologies in tandem with physical exhibition activities, the expo provides comprehensive support for enterprises seeking to break through barriers in the Western market. At the 2025 edition, Suzhou Lema Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. showcased its “Die-Cutting Material Utilization Optimization System” and “AI Visual Inspection System for Die-Cutting Defects in Electronic Labels,” which improved material utilization from 82% to 95% and reduced defect detection rates to 0.8%, setting a benchmark for AI-driven innovation in the printing and packaging industry.
• Drawing on Sichuan Province’s robust printing and packaging industrial base, the expo has established itself as a strategic hub for regional industrial development. Sichuan Province is home to eight top-100 printing enterprises, two of which rank among the national top ten, placing the province at the forefront of packaging and printing development in Western China. With the continued advancement of the National Western Development Strategy and the accelerated westward expansion of major printing and packaging companies, the market potential of the Southwest continues to unfold. Concurrent with the expo, five major thematic events are scheduled, including the “2026 Label Technology Application Summit Forum,” the “2026 Chengdu Digital Printing Summit Forum,” and the “2026 Chengdu Printing and Packaging Boutique Exhibition,” alongside special initiatives such as “product purchase subsidies for travel expenses” and “red envelope raffles for visitors,” offering exhibitors added value and platforms to enhance their industry influence.
• For businesses, this expo serves as a strategic gateway to tap into the Western market, connect with regional resources, and stay attuned to industry trends. Leveraging Chengdu’s advantageous position as the economic center of Western China, the expo radiates across vast markets including Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet. Through this platform, participating companies can efficiently engage with printing and packaging manufacturers, end-users, and distributors throughout the Southwest, seizing early opportunities in the region’s untapped blue-ocean market.
